The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Various regulations pertaining to human food have incorporated materials by reference. In general, the regulations have identified a library at the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN), which was (at the time the regulations were published) located in Washington, DC, or in College Park, MD. We recently consolidated our library holdings at our main campus in Silver Spring, MD. Consequently, we are making technical amendments to our regulations at parts 73, 101, 118, 165, 172, 173, 177, 178, 184, 189, 589, and 700 (21 CFR parts 73, 101, 118, 165, 172, 173, 177, 178, 184, 189, 589, and 700) to state that the materials can be found at the FDA Library in Silver Spring, MD.

We are revising § 173.325 to update the library address from “Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition's Library, 5100 Paint Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD 20740 20204-0001” to “Food and Drug Administration's Main Library, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 2, Third Floor, Silver Spring, MD 20993, 301-796-2039”.

Publication of this document constitutes final action of these changes under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). These amendments are merely updating the address of CFSAN references and the names of CFSAN offices. FDA, therefore, for good cause, finds under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and (d)(3) that notice and public comment are unnecessary.
